>> democrats said they wanted to let joe biden be joe biden and heave that and more. he was pugnacious. he was combative. and he took ryan at every turn. he tried to have the last word on every single issue whether it was libya, iran, afghanistan, taxes, medicare. and i think the goal for joe biden was to play cleanup after last week's lackluster debate performance by president obama. and that was his goal tonight and he hit a lot of key points that obama failed to make in that last debate. >> pelley: what vice president biden had to do is act as a circuit breaker, essentially. the romney campaign came out of that first debate in denver with a great deal of momentum and it was biden's job to be a firewall, to break that momentum, john dickerson. >> he did it for democrats. i think democrats are going to run this back on their tivos and watch the greatest hits. he touched on the 47%. he talked about detroit. he talked about the duplicity he sees in the romney campaign. president obama said his fault was that he was too polite. joe biden cannot be faulted for being too

you will not rattle joe biden. joe biden has been on the national stage. he has run for president, and he is the sitting vice president. i hope to offer people an alternative. joe is very good on the attack. joe is very good at trying to confuse the issues, so that the person who leaves the debate is confused about who stands for what. my job is to make sure they are not confused about what we stand for and what they stand for. >> you have said he was -- you have your stand and as the guy who won bush v. gore -- your stand-in. >> i hope joe biden shows up more than ted olson, because this is one of the best litigators in america. he has studied joe biden's record and style, and ted, as you know, is one of the best litigators in america and is pretty good at adapting to that. >> have you got lines already prepared? >> i am not really a line guy. i'm a gut guy. i do not try to be anything other than what i am. i believe what i believe, and i do what i do, and i believe in the policies we are pursuing. at the end of the day, i am going to go in and be me. >>
